Abstract
The Talovac nobility belonged in the 15th century to the circle of the most powerful noble families in Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom. Due to their extreme wealth, which they thanked to the profit collected from numerous estates across the territory of present Croatia, Slavonia and Austria; the traditional family policy of loyalty to Croatian-Hungarian king Sigismund of Luxembourg and his successors to the throne; as well as to matrimonial bonds with distinguished central-European aristocratic families (Alsace; Levant), the Talovac nobility had –during the first three decades of the 15th century – risen from lower aristocracy of the end of the 14th century to one of the most powerful noble families in Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom.
